Floyd Mayweather. A look at his recent opponents

[killersheep]

Since Floyd Mayweather has hit the 140’s and above who has he beaten?? Its not that the names on his record are bad it’s just that when you look at it more closely you see that his recent fights really were nothing to give him the credit or rating he has.

Let’s take a look at his last few opponents 140 and above

Demarcus Corley:
Mayweather couldn’t KO him and beat him over 12 rounds. Since then Corley has lost by TKO to Jose Alfor, Lost by UD to Jr Witter and lost by TKO to Miguel Cotto

Henry Bruseles:
This was an elimination bout that was made to keep Mayweather busy and is not worth mentioning. Henry has not really beaten anybody of note before or after this bout.

Shamba Mitchell
Mayweather KO’d him in 4 but Kostya Tsyu had already achieved this and Hatton has already stopped Tsyu and retired him. Which means he was close to retirement when he beat Shamba. Since the Mayweather fight Shamba has been KO’d in 4 by Paul Williams.

Arturo Gatti:
Mayweather steam rolled him. Since this fight he has lost by TKO to Carlos Baldomir and TKO in 7 to Alfonso Gomes(who)

Zab Judah:
Took Mayweather the whole 12 rounds but has just been KO’d by Miguel Cotto

Carlos Baldomir:
Gained the title from over the hill previous light welter Zab Judah just lost UD to Vernon Forrest.

Oscar De La Hoya:
WAY OVER THE HILL
This fight was a joke. Delahoyas size took him so far but he gassed and is a shadow of his former self.

I think Hatton has a much better chance here than I originally thought

I will make this statement EVERYTIME this topic comes up since it seems to be coming up more frequently.
You can do this to EVERY fighter today and pick apart their record like this. Yet you forget the fact that
PBF is naturally a superfeatherweight 130 pounds. He was fighting at 154 his last fight 4 full weight classes
up. It would be like Hatton facing someone at 160 like say Winky Wright who is actually older than ODLH.
IF you are going to pick apart PBF's recent fights, do the same for whomever you are comparing them too.
In this case you can talk about what world beaters Urango and Collazo are. And then the mandatory Hatton vs.
Tszyu fight which happened over 2 years and 6 million pints ago.

Hatton beat Urango decisively and Hatton did beat Collazo. It wasnt pretty but neither was Mayweather: Castillo. Relative factors are indeed relative. Rematches usually show who a better fighter is and im sure Hatton: Collazo 2 would produce a nice result for Ricky too.

Maweathers recent opposition has been mediocre at best. Steady E made some succinct points.

My only issue is with the arguments saying what came after Maywether. Most fighters after their shot at the top lose more heavily thereafter. I did say most and not all.

Hatton's recent opposition has been mediocre as well.

I'm still upset that Hatton reneged on his rematch with Collazo.
